I think the amount of people enjoying the murderbot adaptation is quite odd!
I might just be struggling as I am a massive fan of the books but so many choices in the show are just so odd!
They’ve infantilised the scientists, infantilised their values, the writing (especially the humour) is just so /odd/ and the choices they’ve made with Mensah especially are bonkers.

"I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops."

In defense of the horrible Willy Wonka AI experience, I do think it captured the true spirit of Gene Wilder’s Wonka: tormenting a bunch of british children to the point of tears
Bold of you to call Scottish children british but go on.
I’ve been obsessed with this tweet for a while so I’m posting the it to tumblr to inflict it on more people
Seeing someone say they didn’t like Gideon the ninth cause it didn’t explain its magic system and like… girlie the protagonist doesn’t care how the magic system works! People will begin explaining it and then Gideon will get distracted by tits! It’s a feature of the text not a bug! She has been surrounded by necromancy her whole life it isn’t new or novel to her! She just wants to swing her big sword and look at girls and be noticed and appreciated!
(But also you get some good good explanations for the magic system in harrow the ninth stick with it I promise you)
I am constantly thinking about a review of Harrow the Ninth where the reviewer disliked a lot about the book but specifically complained how it wasn’t sci-fi-y enough for something set 10,000 years in the future. He complained it was unrealistic they were eating ginger biscuits and smoking cigarettes and I’m like … THAT’S INTENTIONAL! IT’S THEMATICALLY SIGNIFICANT!! TAMSYN MUIR IS MAKING A POINT ABOUT HOW CLINGING TO A GLORIFIED PAST WILL DESTROY YOU!!
John Gaius tells us (well, Harrow) in Nona the Ninth that he always hated change, but even in Harrow the Ninth it’s clear—he and his lyctors are stagnating and have been for millennia. They’re constantly talking about how great things used to be (sexy parties, Cassiopeia’s cooking, etc.). They have no hope for the future. John has a spaceship full of bodies in cryosleep—literally frozen in time and undying but also unable to grow or live. He is the Emperor Undying.
The theme becomes more explicit in Nona the Ninth: we see John (and arguably BOE) stuck on this 10,000-year-old grudge and unable to move past it. He thought he could keep Alecto in stasis in a tomb what, forever? He makes Gideon into a non-living preserved version of herself.
Meanwhile the characters who are living and growing are changing, even when it’s sometimes awful, because it’s how they keep doing what needs to be done. Palamedes and Camilla say before they become Paul that it wasn’t inevitable, but it is the best thing they can do now: they will make this imperfect irreversible change because that’s how they keep living and protecting the people they love. On the trip to the Ninth, Nona considers it might be better to just die, instead of continue this uncertain journey forward, but ultimately accepts irrevocable, painful change because NOODLE. And because “You can’t take loved away”: change doesn’t destroy the past or invalidate the good that existed there. Living requires change, but change doesn’t require forgetting.
Anyway, thank you to that reviewer who was so annoyed by the ginger biscuits in Harrow the Ninth that he illuminated a major theme in the series for me.
